When to Visit

The Isle of Wight basks in its prime during the summer months of June to August, boasting warm weather and a lively schedule of events, such as the Isle of Wight Festival and Cowes Week. However, it's worth considering a visit in the shoulder seasons of May, September and October when weather remains pleasant, crowd sizes decrease and accommodation rates are more competitive. Although winter ushers in cooler temperatures and some attractions close, it's still a charming time to visit for those who enjoy a quieter atmosphere and cosy pub scenes. Tearooms and restaurants lead the charge with seasonally inspired dishes that truly celebrate the autumn and winter months.
